• By circumstance evidences and identical disruptive editing pattern and same claim, the newbie, Jlone78 (talk · contribs) is obviously same as 220.253.34.72 (talk · contribs), 220.253.144.103 (talk · contribs), 220.253.23.184 (talk · contribs), all of which use (netspace.net.au) IP. The user dishonestly said the disputed section unreferenced. After it was contested, the user also falsely labels attached reliable sources, "unreliable ones" and keeps blanking without consensus nor proper discussion. A block on the account and IP address are quite in order.--Caspian blue (talk) 22:31, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

I removed the section as it has no reliable references as stated multiple times, and it is a biography article. This article has not received many contributions, however this part of the article was contested before, with most editors trying to remove it. I expanded the article with much information from reliable and verifiable references [1] [2]

This user has the page on their watch list (but does not contribute to the article) and reverted my edit. I claim the references are not reliable, and requested numerous times for an explanation. [3] [4] [5]. As seen the user deleted my requests, ignored me, left numerous warnings on my talk page ,and insisted that I am page blanking, dishonestly editing, and false labeling.

I noticed it would be useless, and as noted, I decided to go to the admin board. [6]. I created the account jlone78 so I could create this article [7] which is directly related to the this article so I could further expand it. I also expanded the article with lots more information [8] with many minor edits for corrections such as [9], [10]. I tried to receive help from other boards such as the reliable references board [11] and the biography board [12] for this section, as there are two users who appear to have this article on their watch list just for this. They do not contribute to the article, and as noted many times (and by other editors) the references are not reliable, or verifiable. This editor appears to be in a Korean-Japanese prejudice dispute on the wikipedia. As evident by their editing.

I don't believe to be in violation of the 3RR, as the references are not acceptable for a biography. I have clearly shown no interest, other than cleaning the article and expanding it with notable referenced information. 220.253.23.184 (talk) 23:06, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

The user falsely accused me of giving "threats" with the outrageous thread title on my giving him/her "blanking warnings". Moreover, the user made a hoax report on me at ANI. Such rudeness and uncooperative behaviors only cut mutual communication. The user's edits with no consensus is reverted by admin, Slp1 [13] and your claim for BLP violation on the deceased singer as well as the sources being unreliable are also false.[14]--Caspian blue (talk) 23:10, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Comment from a partly involved administrator I believe that there is no question that this user edited as both Jlone78 and the 220. accounts listed above (and in fact one account admits it above). Together s/he clearly violated 3RR, reverting the edits of multiple other editors who disagreed with them.[15] They were warned multiple times, both formally and informally, including by me. (listed above and [16],[17][18]) Part of the issue appears to be that s/he doesn't seem to understand that

assume good faith about other editors [20], not engaging in personal attacks accusing people of 'prejudice', 'ownership' 'dishonesty' etc.[21][22] In the short-term, with this particular article, the issue may be solved, since editors were able to find many unimpeachably reliable sources proving the point Jlone disagrees with, and peace has reigned in the last 12 hours. In the long-term, it is to be hoped that Jlone can learn more about a range of WP policies, because otherwise s/he may well run into serious problems once again, and administrator response will likely be swifter.--Slp1 (talk

The anon user keeps on insisting that Shenzhen Airlines serves Mactan-Cebu International Airport. He provides [29], [30], and [31] as sources. The first two sites does not state service to Cebu. However the last site states that they fly to Cebu, but that site is unreliable for it states that Cebu Pacific still flies from Cebu to Macau and Bangkok but they don't fly the said route anymore (Source: [32]). It also states that Asian Spirit flies from Cebu to Caticlan but they don't fly the said route anymore (Source: [33]). Other sources that I have which does not indicate that Shenzhen Airlines has flights from Cebu to Nanning are [www.amadeus.net], [www.oag.com], and [www.flightstats.com].

This page is the subject of an on-going, 2 year old dispute over content. The original version of this account 7 July 2006 was the subject of an edit war from September 2006 to January 2007, and again in September 2007 to March 2008. It has been changed repeatedly by an anonymous editor using a variety of IP addresses:

• 71.75.217.133 (Sept 06-Jan 07),
• 75.181.159.63 (Sept 07-Mar 08 ), and now
• 75.181.159.63 (Oct 08).

The content added is highly POV, and editorializing.
There has been no response to repeated requests for discussion of the issues.
The allegation in the edit summary that the original account is “completely inaccurate and extremely biased” has not been substantiated at any point.

• Editor warned about 3RR here[64]. Editor's repeated re-opening of closed discussion is the subject of a current AN/I report he filed, and all of these edits follow the initiation of the AN/I discussion. Editor's comment that closure is "bullshit" to be ignored[65] and "disruptive" [66] indicates that reopening discussion and moving section headers is tendentious editing of talk page, not a mere accidental/technical violation of 3RR.

- Wikidemon (talk) 19:27, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

This belongs on ANI, not here. There are no content revisions here and clearly the discussion was not over. Wikidemon, as usual, is using administrative tools designed to stifle legitimate debate on election related topics. CENSEI (talk) 19:53, 6 October 2008 (UTC) At any rate, this is stale. CENSEI (talk) 19:54, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Not sure why the above editor is trying to attack me rather than commenting on the issue, but 4 of the 5 reverts happened in the last 3 hours. Hardly stale. Wikidemon (talk) 20:07, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Noroton has been a bit disruptive in his posts, and Wikidemon is probably right that the discussion is better left closed, but I don't see a reversion of a decision on a talk page to close down a discussion as deserving of a 3RR block. Noroton wasn't doing anything bad to the article and was engaged primarily in trying to convince people that new evidence changed the weight of the subject at hand (though he often annoyingly made these comments). Again, this doesn't seem like the correct way to handle this...perhaps a Wikiquette Alert is more appropriate. Either that or mediation. When either of those things happen, I'll strongly be on Wikidemon's side.LedRush (talk) 19:55, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

The talk page is under article probation (see

Talk:Barack Obama/Article probation). Disruption of the Obama talk page is the subject of this and perhaps a dozen other AN/I reports, as well as an indef. block every 1-2 days. If 3RR applies at all to talk pages, it applies to things like contentiously changing headings, opening and closing discussions, and so on. What else could 3RR and avoiding disruption mean for a talk page? 3RR is an electric fence. If an editor disputes the oversight of the talk page they need to take it to dispute resolution, not edit war.Wikidemon (talk

) 20:01, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

No action for now. Noroton is unlikely to get consensus support for the material he is trying to have included at Barack Obama, and his reverts of the discussion closure exceed the tolerance we normally allow on Talk pages. Those on the other side have been high-handed as well (closing discussions early), so no action is due at this point. If Noroton continues reverting closures I think he should be blocked. EdJohnston (talk) 20:29, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

I won't revert again, and I don't intend to try to extend the discussion on that page forever. I didn't realize I'd reverted three times in a day. This is part of the Wikidemon-Scjessey pattern of taunt/provoke, get an editor to step slightly over the line (usually that's Scjessey's part) and then quickly report a violation (almost always Wikidemon's part). I've seen them pull this on several other editors and on me on a few occasions. This is how they deal with disagreement, and I intend to go back and gather a record of other examples of this pattern in order to try to persuade them to mend the errors of their way. I really am sorry my part in this gave them a foot in the door to take up the time of other editors. Thanks for the level-headed response. --

I've noticed that this user has run afoul of 3RR more than once. Hellbus (talk) 00:42, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Not my fault if some users like Hellbus think their opinion is better than WP rules and guidelines and that consensuses basically don't matter. What's the point of contributing to the talk page of an article if the only way some people edit on WP is to revert, wait a 3RR, and rush to report it so that they won't have to explain themselves concerning the content of their reverts.

This kind of bureaucratic and automatic view of the WP (favoring 3RR denunciations instead of trying to communicate with people, waiting to hear their opinion before reverting) is what is going to kill it.

What I see is that while I wasted my time writing a detailed explanation and justification for my edits, 2 contributors plotted against me so they could have their own way in the articles (hence this denunciation).

No, I don't think blind bureaucracy should replace the process of discussion and consensus. I don't believe in it. I don't believe that if 3 reverts can be automatically sanctionned, the editor responsible for a single, unjustified and unexplained revert shouldn't be sanctionned also.Folken de Fanel (talk) 01:01, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

• Blocked – for a period of 72 hours FdF is the only one doing full reverts; VVVVV only did one full revert, and the other 2 partial. FdF has been blocked at least twice for 3RR (I say, at least, because of the blocks for edit warring which may also be 3RR.) — Arthur Rubin (talk) 01:47, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

I initially removed uncited speculation about a possible upcoming episode on a TV series that has ended[87] which was then reverted. Following a couple of reverts by the user I decided to research the reason for the rumour of a possible 88th episode and found that it had actually already aired but the list was US-centric rather than presenting a world-view so I made appropriate changes to the article, also making other corrections in the process[88]. I even discussed this on the article's talk page but the user continues to revert my and other editor's edits. After the user's 4th revert I discussed the issue at length on his talk page, explaining exactly why his reversions were inappropriate.[89] I then added a 3RR warning, shortly after which he made his 5th revert, which is almost identical to the original version that he reverted to.[90] To be clear, the user has not technically violated 3RR as his 5 reversions were carried out over a 2 day period however if I reverted now I have no doubt that he would continue reverting. The user visits the page infrequently enough to avoid a technical 3RR breach but reverts each time he visits. I believe he has definitely broken the spirit of 3RR and some action is warranted. --AussieLegend (talk) 04:05, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

I am Cory Malik and I have and will stop reverting his edits. You need to look at the newest post at the bottonm of the talk page and look at thhe first two comments on my talk page and see that all of my reverts where bettween me & him so if i am block he should be too. You need to look at the ep page and see how he dramtically changed the page contridicting edits being made for a year. And I have removed the ep that everybody tried to remove. After Aussie gave me the 3RR warning I them removed the ep and left as is before Aussie and my edits took place, which both would need to be discussed.--Jay M. Baxter-Payne (talk) 04:13, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

"I am Cory Malik and I have and will stop reverting his edits" - This promise seems disingenuous given your latest reversion of properly cited information[91], despite the addition of the cited information being explained on the article's talk page.[92] Edit warring has gotten you blocked before. You were unblocked then becuase you promised to stop edit warring. Given the latest reversion, why should anyone believe you? --AussieLegend (talk) 09:27, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

As reporter, I suggest closing this report as no action because the party has stopped edit warring. Berdov is a new Wikipedian who has expressed an interest and desire to learn policy.[93] Now that there is no current disruption he needs guidance, not blocking. Thanks.

(repeated revert-warring in citation to poor source in BLP; unresponsive to warnings)

The tag teaming that Wikidemon and co have engaged in on Berdov is despicable, quite frankly. None of the editors so intent on owning every election 08 article have ever bothered to take the time to make their argument on the talk page, an article that is as laughable as it is transparently and nakedly POV. How an editor could argue that Commentary (magazine) is not a reliable source boggles the mind and indicates that the editors currently dominating Berdov have no intent on making these articles better, only more suited to their POV’s. If Berdov is blocked for edit warring, so too should any editor who has reverted him. This is really getting out of hand. CENSEI (talk) 02:15, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

What Censei fails to realize is that an opinion piece published in an otherwise reliable journal is not a reliable source because, guess what, it is an opinion piece. Censei, please stop your soapboxing and personal attacks. You too are close to violating 3RR. We can only report facts, not facts with a biased interpretation, which is what Censei is trying to insert. Erik the

Both of you stop it. This page is not for your stupid bickering. Berdov broke 3RR whether the article is reliable or not. You are both being disruptive and need to find some time elsewhere.

Berdov was involved in edit warring .... as were the editors who were reverting him withouth explanation. CENSEI (talk) 03:30, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

No, reverting BLP violations is not edit warring. If you bothered to get in touch with this simple policies we wouldn't have this problems. Or would we?

With tag team action like that (tag team action that has been well demonstrated on several other articles) why would they have to violate 3RR? Also, if the

WP:BLP violation is so obvious, why is everyone having such a gosh darned hard time pointing it out? Simply saying it exists does not make it so. CENSEI (talk

No one else violated 3RR, and everyone else provided constructive edit summaries. Once again, the author doesn't matter, the content does. It draws conclusions based on the facts it presents, which is an opinion. Erik the

IMHO, the edits of the IP is blabant nonsense, comparable to vandalism. Thus I ignored the 3RR rule. As per the '3RR warning', it was issued after my fourth edit. --Soman (talk) 09:18, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Large scale pov edits without discussion, reverting to their version, despite repeated requests to discuss and seek consensus before reintroduction. - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 17:03, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Of Arcaynes four examples, only three of the links lead to anything.

Of those three, one leads to a completely different editor and was discussed here:[105], Jennavecia states that my edit: "appears to have removed content from the page without explanation.". I discussed it with him here:[106] and has nothing to do with Arcaynes wholesale reversion of nearly Thirty individually documented and supported edits - edits which have the support in general of several other editors.

Arcayne himself reverted me nearly ninety times by using three massive reverts of all my hours of quality and well supported edits. Edits which, again, have the support of other editors.76.224.68.237 (talk) 17:17, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I corrected the "0920 (3rd revert) link; it should be viewable now. Additionally, I believe the anon is unaware of how 3RR covers all edits (excluding vandalism). It prevents edit-wars from escalating, among other things. The user was reverted by two other editors (I among them). Additionally, the anon seemed unaware that requests to discuss their edits usually means that, instead of reverting, they should actually head to the discussion page and discuss their edits. This failure to read and understand 3RR becomes more apparent when they note a single revert of a large grouping of undiscussed edits to be reverts in multiples of ten. It could have been corrected had the anon taken the time to read WP:3RR. Lastly, one editor - one - has expressed interest in the edits performed. No one is suggesting that the edits should have been edit-warred into the article, or that violating 3RR was an acceptable method of contributing. - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 17:30, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Well, besides the thirty good edits of mine you reverted there are also the edits warned about here:[107] yesterday, "You seem to have a few ownership issues with the above page....which was well supported by the talk page in the lead, yet you reverted (I'm going to revert that again because what you've done is completely against consensus). I also note you've done this for basically anything you don't agree with. As it happens, you've hit three reverts in the last 24 hours so please don't revert again or you'll be blocked."

It could be a decent article if you'll allow others to contribute.76.224.68.237 (talk) 17:40, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

From still yet another editor in the same article, day before: [108] "Edit-warring to impose your personal perspective against the consensus, is a violation of Wikipedia policies and I suggest you stop."76.224.68.237 (talk) 17:48, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

(ec x3) It is a decent article, anon. Your additions would make it better, were you to follow the same rules and requests in offering them that the rest of us do - even me. The report is about you, not my past action, which you may note didn't involve violating 3RR, but did involve a lot of discussion in which all parties found consensus. The difference is, you chose not to do that, even after being warned of the consequences. - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 17:54, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Focus please; if Johnny jumps off the cliff, it doesn't mean you have to follow suit. This is your vio, not mine. In point of fact, i learned my lesson without violating 3RR. You chose not to. - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 17:54, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

You learned your lesson? Here's still another editor from just last night,[109] "Arcayne, your attitude on this talk page leaves something to be desired. ... the antagonistic responses you've made in various sections has made it more much difficult to resolve these very minor disputes. Even if you are absolutely convinced you are right, as you seem to be above, the simple fact is that there is no sole arbiter of content - and consensus among editors is what determines the outcome.". You reverted me Thirty times in just this one day. And not once have you offered even a hint of substance as to why even one of the edits was wrong. All you've done is continue to claim ownership and revert back to your personal version. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.224.68.237 (talk) 18:07, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

So, you broke 3RR because of me? Because I and no one else reverted you? Hmm, I am not sure that complaining about me is the best way to defend your breaking the rules. Sorry. - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 18:36, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
